Learning math with building blocks

Kate Hergert shows off the towers in the colorful city she built with new wooden blocks at a St. John library storytime session. Storytime for all ages at St. John is Fridays at 11 a.m. This year in addition to reading readiness the library will have activities to strengthen early mathematics skills. The Washington State Library and the National Science Foundation has provided a selection of toys to help develop skills in counting, sorting, shapes and sizes.
